Bacteria maintenance. What do you dose?

[Townes_Van_Camp]

SCTLD

Huh? I don't know what this is.

Huh? I don't know what this is.

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is a highly lethal coral disease that was first reported off the coast of Florida in 2014 and has since spread rapidly throughout the Caribbean. The disease affects over 20 coral species and is now present on reefs in 18 countries and territories.

Oh very nice.

Yeah, it somehow got into my tank through coral purchases and completely wiped out my 8 year old reef, starting over from scratch with new tank in about 2 weeks.

I too had not heard of that. It’s good that anyone found a way to beat dinos they’re such a scourge for us

I add mb-7 once a month when I do my 10% WC. I do it to clearup the tank after disturbing the sand bed and blowing off the rocks.

I use the Aquaforest system. I dose AF Bio S once per week, AF ProBio S and -NP Pro daily (carbon dosing), and on occasion, MB Clean.

Tons of fish poo. My answer to many things.

Depends on if the bacteria are probiotic or not...if not, I'd say there's no point in adding additional bacteria at any time unless you're having a specific issue. Even with the probiotic bacteria its hard to say they're really beneficial since they're likely outcompeted very quickly. The one product I'm curious about is PNS Probio.

How about you check that attitude at the door? This thread is about what others are doing as far as bacteria dosing is concerned.

You didn’t answer my question in the slightest bit. You are clearly here to fight with anyone that feels there is a benefit.

Can someone please show me how to mute this person?

I apologize if you think I had an attitude. As a microbiologist - I think I have a bit of expertise - and was merely saying 'I do not think it makes sense to add bacteria'. I'm sorry you consider that 'a fight'. That is the answer to your question.
